It starts with a wide window, of which the first blind starts rolling up, and immediate fast paced background music plays. All three blinds roll up revealing the setting just like a curtain at a theater. We can see people moving around in opposite buildings on the pavement, or in cars which draws our attention expecting something to happen or explain the reason why this window's view is so important. This opening is interesting because it draws the audience in with the obvious violation of privacy into other people's lives. It doesn't introduce any characters which makes you curious of the unknown narrator and hints that he is hiding something. I would like to use this idea in my opening as i believe it interests the audience and creates mystery.
